Curran in May got back in the win column after nearly a year off when he beat Josh Killion at Extreme Challenge 227. Previously he had been cut from a stint in the UFC with a two-fight losing skid to Scott Jorgensen and Johnny Eduardo.

Curran had dropped down to flyweight from a lengthy run at 135 pounds. He was scheduled to meet Sergio Pettis for RFA’s 125-pound title in June. But now he’ll bounce back up to bantamweight for a shot at a title there, instead.

Of his eight wins, five have come by decision.

Koch, the brother of the UFC’s Erik Koch, was looking to stay unbeaten after returning to the sport in April after nearly three years away. He picked up a unanimous decision win for a regional show in his native Iowa – the first time he went the distance in a fight after four submissions in his first four bouts.
